last one -- a while ago at my sister's house she ran in and said that a crow had a near-miss with a car
on her street and it was flopping in the middle of it, go out and do something.
So I find the bird, alive but not able to move too well, and lets me gently pick it up and get it off the street.
It was white streaked and seemed old, calm and held it- sis took some pics and we didn't quite know
what to do, seeing if it would regain strength and movement.
The crows fly over in mass almost every evening to their roost in the valley and tonight we were
surrounded by flocks in trees and wires and noisy and fly bys.
Don't know much can they have a heirarchy-patriarch or matriarch? Not knowing kinda spooked we
held it for a few minutes and then it stirred and wanted out. Setting it down, it didn't hesitate and took
itself up to a tall tree across the street and there was a ruckus, crows everywhere and then they all took
off in the last of the evening and hopefully the old one was with them. Felt like we helped.
